I bought this to replace my old french door style fridge. I hated the french door guide and always had kids break the guide plastic. I loved my previous side bu side and thought about going back to side by side. So far it’s prefect! I know french door talks about more space and such, but side by side has reach ability. I am loving the touch screen, the fridge is just meant to be married with a smart tablet. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
